Repair or replace in Afoneitha?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Shower tray repair at your home in Afoneitha

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes

Afoneitha questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Afoneitha.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
